    Abstract: Segmentation is the process of dividing an imageinto disjoint regions. It is the most important task in image processing where the success of the object recognition depends strongly on the efficiency of the segmentation process. The most popular and important segmentation methods are clustering such asFuzzy c-Means (FCM), Iterative Self-Organizing ... Show More

    Abstract: This paper proposes an IR camera system that performs the task of removing mines for humanitarian purposes. Because of the high risks involved, it is necessary to conduct mine detection from the most remote endeavoring. By making use of infrared ray (IR) cameras, scattered mines can be detected from remote locations. In the case of mines buried in ... Show More

    Abstract: Many clustering and segmentation algorithms suffer from the limitation that the number of clusters/segments is specified manually by human operators. It is often impractical to expect a human with sufficient domain knowledge to be available to select the number of clusters/segments to return. Thus, the estimation of optimal cluster number during th... Show More

    Abstract: Classification techniques have been widely used in different remote sensing applications and correct classi-fication of mixed pixels is a tedious task. The problem is more complex with the classification of hyperspectral data and requires a thorough analysis. Traditional approaches adopt various statistical parameters, however does not facilitate ... Show More

    Abstract: Segmentation of magnetic resonance images (MRIs) is challenging due to the poor image contrast and artifacts that result in missing tissue boundaries, i.e. pixels inside the region and on the boundaries have similar intensity. In this paper, we adapt a region growing method to segment MRIs which contain weak boundaries between different tissues. Th... Show More
